Carson POV I could hardly breathe. Marly was back and looking at me as if nothing had happened. I wanted to reach out and touch her, but I was afraid she would disappear in front of my eyes. “Are you real?” I asked softly. “I am real, and you better get over here and kiss me,” she muttered, as I smiled a smile of relief. I stepped forward, capturing her lips. Marly was back and so were our sparks. She was mine, and I was hers. “Mate,” I whispered against her lips, “Mate,” she replied with a sigh. “You scared me there, sweetheart,” I said to her, as she took my hand. “Scared me more,” she replied, as she gripped my hand. It was as if she had fought a battle to return to me. “How?” I asked, wanting to understand. “The Moon Goddess came to me. She offered me the chance to come back with my powers, but when I did that, I had lost you. So, she came back to me, offering to send me back without my powers. I have no powers, Carson,” she said,
Marly POV I could not make sense of Carson’s anger. Why was he angry to find his mate? “You!” he spit out, as I watched him step towards me. “Me, what?” I asked, waiting for him to say this was a joke and he remembered me. “How could the Princess of the Kingdom be my mate? This must be a joke,” he muttered, as he came to stand beside me. “Princess? What do you mean?” I asked. “Have you hit your head? You are the spoiled Princess of the Kingdom,” he replied, looking away from me in disgust. “I am your mate, Carson,” I replied. “Oh, you remember my name do you Ms. Snooty?” he asked. I was so confused. What had I missed upon returning from the dead? “Carson, I want to be your mate,” I said earnestly, almost begging him to recognize me as his mate. He looked at me, conflicted with what he was seeing to what he believed he knew. “No, nope; I cannot accept this,” he muttered as he walked out of the room, leaving me devastated. W
Marly POV I watch as my body lay there, not responding to anything or anyone in the room. Tears filled my eyes as I watched Carson sob at losing me. I could not contain the tears, as they streaked down my cheeks. I watched the scene unfold before me, shock filling my body as I realized I was lost to this world. All I had ever wanted was a happy ever after. Carson had been that for me. The man who stole my heart when I did not think it was possible for anybody to love me. I watched as he lay beside my cold body. I wanted to reach my hand out to touch him. I wanted to let him know I was here, but I was not here. Not in the literal sense. Is this how I would live my life now? Watching him go through the motions of existing until he found a new love. My heart nearly burst with pain at the thoughts of him looking to a new love the way he had looked at me. I bent over as the pain overwhelmed me. My thoughts destroying what was left.
Carson POV I stand as the doctor rushes from the operating room. “Please come quickly, Alpha,” the doctor requested. I moved quickly, following behind him, as I eagerly look towards seeing Marly up and waiting to see me. “I am very sorry, Alpha,” the doctor is saying, but I have no concept of her words. “What are you sorry for?” I asked, seeking clarification. “I was saying we were unable to save your mate, but I wanted you to see her in her final minutes,” the doctor repeated. “What?!?” I roared as the doctor stepped back in shock. “Take me to her immediately,” I commanded, uncertain how we landed here. “She was alive when we came in; how can she be lost to us now?” I asked, trying to restore calm in my body. I just needed to see Marly and somehow convince her to come back to me. She was not gone. I refused to believe what the doctor was telling me. “Alpha, her injuries were severe. Without her wolf helping to heal her, there was not much
Carson POV “Marly! Hold on!” I yelled as I tried to stop Marly bleeding out in my arms. I had a medic with me who moved forward trying to help as well. “We need to get the Luna to a hospital, Alpha. There is only so much we can do here,” the medic advised me. “What is the good of you being here if you can do nothing to save her?” I raged. I knew I was being unreasonable, but nothing could stop me. Saving Marly was all that I was focused on. “I will call ahead to the nearest hospital to advise we are coming,” the medic replied, not taking my words personally. I ignored him as I kept kissing Marly’s forehead. I took into stock all her injuries. How had she survived? And why was Layla not helping to heal her? I knew she was injured and could not heal herself. Perhaps the injuries were far deeper than I realized. “Kane, can you sense Layla?” I asked my wolf. “No, I cannot; I am worried for both our mates,” he replied sadly. As I
Marly POV A rage overtook me, and I used all my power to push the man away from me. He flew across the room, taking a large chunk of my flesh with him. I had managed to push him off me before he hit bone. Only then would his mark have been permanent. I turned and raced to the door I had entered the room through. Men surrounding me tried to grab me, but using my powers, I was able to toss them aside with little effort. I still had no sound from Layla, but I plunged forward, seeing my escape looming just ahead of me. Just as my hand almost reached the door, out of nowhere came a black wolf, slamming into my side and shoving me into the far wall. I cursed as I hit the wall hard, feeling my arm break with the hit. I needed time to heal the wound. Time was one thing I had none of and without Layla, I was unable to focus on my wounds. My neck was bleeding at a rapid pace, and now I was with a broken arm. I could feel faintness creeping in, but
